Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields (2015)
Journal Article
Vivacqua, V., Mhatre, S., Ghadiri, M., Abdullah, A., Hassanpour, A., Al-Marri, M., Azzopardi, B. J., Hewakandamby, B. N., & Kermani, B. (2015). Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 104, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2015.10.006

This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected into a stream of flowing s...

Interrogating the effect of an orifice on the upward two-phase gas–liquid flow behavior (2015)
Journal Article
Zeghloul, A., Azzi, A., Saidj, F., Azzopardi, B. J., & Hewakandamby, B. N. (2015). Interrogating the effect of an orifice on the upward two-phase gas–liquid flow behavior. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 74, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2015.04.013

Experiments are reported on an air–water mixture flowing through an orifice in a vertical pipe. Time series of cross-sectionally averaged void fractions have been measured at nine axial positions by using a conductance probe technique. A series of si...

Electrostatic phase separation: a review (2015)
Journal Article
Mhatre, S., Vivacqua, V., Ghadiri, M., Abdullah, A., Al-Marri, M., Hassanpour, A., Hewakandamby, B. N., Azzopardi, B. J., & Kermani, B. (2015). Electrostatic phase separation: a review. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 96, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2015.02.012

The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 years. Electrocoalescence kin...
